There are hives of activity on the roof of the ever-cool Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design. It’s a facility of technological marvel, creativity, and reclamation. The perfect place for urban honeybees to weave their environmental magic.

In this GPB interview, Jennifer Leavey of the School of Biological Sciences discusses her work leading the Georgia Tech Urban Honeybee Project, which studies how urban habitats affect honeybee health and how technology can be used to study bees. 

A new study led by researchers, including School of Physics graduate student Julia Esposito and Associate Professor Gongjie Li, used 1,500 virtual planetary systems to examine how planet-planet scattering may have influenced the formation of Jupiter-sized planets.

Mountains are home to some of the most spectacular biodiversity on Earth, but mountain species are thought to be especially vulnerable to climate change-driven extinctions. However, mountains can also be refugia, providing a plethora of habitats and climates that allow species to persist despite climate change. In this piece published in Nature Reviews Biodiversity, researchers, including Benjamin Freeman and Jenny McGuire of the School of Biological Sciences, examine how mountain species have responded to past and ongoing warming to assess their vulnerability and resilience to climate change.
